whitesoxfan101 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The Bulls have no heart or balls, they have a horrible coach, their guards are too small, no inside scorer. I was right about us all year after all, just got lucky to play the washed up Heat in the 1st round. If not for that, New Jersey beats us in round 1.

CWSGuy406 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ May 11, 2007 -> 03:24 AM) Neither one of them did anything while they were on the floor in the first half. I agree that Noch has been terrible. However, Brown has played pretty well for the most part. Ben Gordon disappeared in the second half. This doesn't need to be said, but when he's not scoring, he's useless. He absolutely got dominated by Billups and Hamilton, blowing right by him no problem. Sefolosha was, at the very least, going to play defense. Something had to be switched up. The Bulls' offense against that zone in the second half was worse than the Marquette offense I watched all year. Something had to change... nobody was in the middle of the zone. Whatever. Hopefully the Knicks pick allows us to take a good back-to-the-basket player. I'd love Horford or Hibbert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 All this team has is Deng and Big Ben (and maybe Tyrus and Thabo, but our great coach won't play them). Let's have a good draft, hope a guard is traded, and hope Skiles resigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did I say this team would do anymore than get to Detroit and lose in the playoffs? I'm surprised they are going to get swept, but that's about it.

DrunkBomber Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 This is the first time Ill completely admit that our guards our simply too small. Ive always liked Gordon and Hinrich but they cant handle guards like Detroit has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) I think Hinrich can be useful as a point if you get a big, good 2, plus little Ben has way more trade value and you save a lot of future cap room if he's gone. Time to deal Gordon. Edited May 11, 2007 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Knicks pick allows us to take a good back-to-the-basket player. I'd love Horford or Hibbert. If I'm in charge I get a new guard (moving Gordon or Noc) and than get a big by swinging the other guy in a deal while using the Knicks pick to get another big guy (we also try to use PJ in a sign and trade as well to help balance salaries) and clearly we release Sweetney and consider moving Duhon if possible.

So we bench our best scorer for an offensively-challenged rookie who's done pretty much nothing all year? That's how we're gonna beat a team the caliber of Detroit? You can nit-pick (and I'm talking people in general) all you want. If we're relying on guys like Tyrus and Thano to save us, we're doomed already. At some point, you just have to realize that the team we're playing is better. Not just a little better, but considerably better. They have the better starting 5. They have the better bench. They have the experience and know-how that we still lack. Lastly, the Bulls were not as good as they looked against Miami. Playing a team as old and injured as they were was the best thing that could've happened to them. This team still has a ways to go. And I don't have a problem with that. In the NBA, you have to take your lumps before/if you're able to get to the top. This is definitely a lump.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Oh, and as far as the zone goes, and I'm glad my opinion was backed up by coach Skiles, the Bulls simply have missed open shots. Skiles thinks they missed 18-25 open jumpers tonight. I didn't think it was that many, but there were definitely good looks there that we just didn't knock down.

Am I the only one that remembers the Jordan/Pippen Bulls getting smacked around 3 straight years before we got to the top? This current Bulls team was not going to win a championship under any circumstance. It's all about progression. We won 8 more regular season games than we did a year ago. We go to the second round this year. That's progess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another major summer of work, another couple big guys through the draft and FA, a year of experience, and a year of age on all of these kids.

I'm sorry jordan, but I'm a youngin...all I know of the Bulls is blowing ass and have no recollection of the the MJ teams getting smacked around for 3 years. Also, young, inexperienced, whatever they are...it is inexcusable to play a 19 point 2nd half lead in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how we're gonna beat a team the caliber of Detroit? Our best scorer, when? He disappeared. He looked okay for about a second today (even broke some ankles late in the 1st half), but why is it taboo to play the guy who's playing better now? I definitely would have liked to see Thabo more, even though he's not (as you point out) the guy who'll make the difference in this series. We don't have that guy. So why not play the better defender?

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 The loss to the Nets only means this happens in the semis instead of the ECF. At least this is a slightly lesser stage to get pantsed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
